The mere mention of the word Chickenpox is something that used to fill me with dread. I was one of those people, along with my brother, who didn’t catch Chickenpox as a child. He caught it in his early 30’s and it finally caught up with me at the age of 39, when I was…Continue reading Caring for a child with Chickenpox

I love…Continue reading Over the pox and another milestone reached – good bye pull ups:)

Oh dear, been up since 6am with Monkey (unlike him) and we have a few more spots. Do we have the pox? I thought he’d be covered within hours of first two appearing, so when that didn’t happen I presumed that he was fine. So now it’s a couple of days later and we have…Continue reading Pox watch is back 🙁
